Fuel blends are combinations of different types of liquid fuels. An example is E85, which is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. While most vehicles may require unblended gasoline, Flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) can operate on any mixture of ethanol and gasoline.

    • The main fuel blends containing biofuels are:
      • Ethanol blends: E5, E10, E85 (with the number denoting the percentage of the total fuel accounted for by ethanol), and
      • Biodiesel blends: B2, B5, and B10 (with the number denoting the percentage of the total fuel accounted for by biodiesel).
  • Fuel blending policies, rules and regulations
    • Ethanol industry representatives have called for the creation and diffusion of "blender pumps", which would allow consumers to select the ratio of ethanol mixed with gasoline.
